- Back with my second reaction video, this time for Lynyrd Skynyrd’s Free Bird. Strangely, this is a song that I have never really encountered, let alone analyzed. This is a fresh reaction to some thing I’ve never really heard.
Hoping I can shed some musical insight and a little bit of instruction:)
Please leave comments for future song suggestions. I look forward to digging deep into some classic hits.

Greatest lead guitar ever.
Check out live at Oakland 1977.
The greatest live performance in all of history.
Allen Collins was one of the greatest rock guitarists of all time.
“I see a big solo coming up here...”. That was a bit of an understatement.
Please react to Free bird 1977 Live concert at Oakland Coluseum!
I’ll add it to the list. Thanks!
@@jimmclaren1 YOur Welcome and Thank You!
The finest live performance of any song by any band that I've ever witnessed, be it live or on video.
When you note that 'there's two different playing', what you are hearing is Collins' overdubbing a second lead. It works out great on the studio version. Rossington's comments on Collins' performance in the studio is worth listening to.
Crazy part. Allen wrote the music including the solo when he was like 16 or 17 years old
Really like that walking bass line just before the guitar solo.
The rhythm section just pounding away keeping it all together during the guitar solo. Brilliant.
"So I haven't finished the solo yet..." Little do you know that the solo will be going until next week.
WOW great reaction ty
You should hear the live version from the coliseum I think you would enjoy it very much look watch the video and listen to the live version Sam
Rather than double-tracking at the beginning of the solo could it be two guitars because they had three guitarists ripping all the time?
Hey James thanks for the comment. Much appreciated, your comment made me second guess!!
So I did some further research. If you google “Hear Allen Collins' Isolated Guitar Solo from Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Free Bird"” (a Guitar World article), it mentions that it is indeed Allen Collins for the whole solo.
“When we put the solo together, we liked the sound of the two guitars, and I could’ve gone out and played it with him. But the way he was doin’ it, he was just so hot! He just did it once and did it again and it was done.”
It’s interesting, because live versions do include multiple guitar players soloing, but it appears that on this original studio recording, Mr. Collins did indeed do the whole thing himself.
Thanks for watching!
@@jimmclaren1 Cool! Thanks for checking it out!!!
Thanks for asking, I know that Skynyrd had the multiple guitarists so it’s definitely something worth looking into. Stay tuned!
the solo is mostly Allen Collins.
@@mkcombs-ds9yl It's all Allen.
The "Four Horseman of the music apocalypse " Allen Collins lead, Steve Gaines lead, Gary Rosington, lead in the beginning followed by rhythm and Leon Wilkinson on that Amazing bass. You will NEVER see a better performance than Oakland 77' or 76'
That's Allen collins
One of the greatest band of all time along side led zeppelin deep purple beatles etc they always be remembered rip to the former member
Billy Powell on keys
Hey just wanted to chime in it’s a trio of guitar players all playing those parts. Really need to react to freebird live Oakland coliseum 77
You can really pick apart the band and see who’s all doing what. All the big reactors are reacting to that one. Check it out
Watch the live in 1976 version
Critics or the like don't matter.
The overall majority of the rock population will tell you that Freebird is in the top 2 or 3 rock anthems of all time.
Slide was played on a Gibson SG
If memory serves, the whole shouting "PLAY FREEBIRD" sarcastically at a band from the audience is a sort of meme. That might be why you hear it so often. I'll admit that I sometimes do it, but only jokingly to my musician friends, not strangers.
They deicated free bird to Dwayne almond
Please stop with the Oakland live version. The 76 Knebworth performance blows that one away. It’s not even close.
They have three guitars and ine bass.
He wrote the solo to this lol
My song................
Steve Gaines and Allen Collins together
Not in the studio version. It's just Allen. Steve wasn't even in the band yet.
